Subject: Kernel Error Message: modprobe used greatest stack depth
In less than 6 hours since I turned on the machine I have been getting
these message (spread over different times) in my dmesg:
Machine A (AMD Athlon 4200, 3G RAM):
khelper used greatest stack depth: 7484 bytes left
modprobe used greatest stack depth: 7184 bytes left
mknod used greatest stack depth: 6976 bytes left

ignored.
Can someone help me?
a. How do I probe further the cause of the error?
b. Seemingly repeatable ..... how to generate a BUG() stack trace at
the point of error - recompiling really needed?
c. Kernel version 2.6.28-rc6, with FTRACE compiled option turned on.
